    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as intriguing and well-integrated with action, featuring a unique sci-fi narrative and an engaging NPC robot companion that enhances the experience. However, frequent and repetitive interruptions from messages left by a character detract from the flow, as many of these messages are seen as unnecessary. Overall, while the storyline has potential and offers a variety of challenges, it suffers from pacing issues due to the delivery of its narrative elements.

    • “Not only can you immerse yourself in an intriguing story mode featuring many big maps full of enemies, hidden corners, traps, and even little riddles to solve.”
    • “A lot of action, a dash of RPG, and a sci-fi post-humanity story tie it all together in a neat package that is supported by a very responsive and attentive developer.”
    • “Good storyline attached to nearly continuous action, a bit of a puzzle here and there, and a variety of challenges.”
    • “The interruptions due to the numerous messages left by (late?) Dr. Lauren Franke are too frequent and repetitive, and having to wait and read them while they are displayed slowly in typewriter style hinders the flow of the story.”
    • “Furthermore, most of those messages don't add much to the story or help you in any way.”
    • “The only problem I had with the storyline was when I got to the last couple of levels of the game.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The graphics are exceptional.”
    • “Also, there are no settings for the graphical options (resolution, vsync, etc.), which is odd.”
    • “The graphics are well done in a hand-drawn style with appealing effects laid all over it, but there are very few sound effects missing here and there.”
